Portrait Study (Clay Modeling)

(Practical)

 

 

The students will-

CO123: Observe and analyze the basic character of a face of model to practice recognizing the volume of each part of the face.

 

CO124: Apply the knowledge of the structure of a skull to build an armature that is capable of sustaining the weight of an entire head.

 

CO125:  Device a plan to distribute volume of clay across the head or a bust so that the sculpture does not crack with uneven weight distribution.

 

CO126: Explore character, features, bone structure, muscle distribution etc of a human face to learn to execute them as closely as possible in a 3D medium.

 

CO127: Devising and execute a plan of mold making of a portrait, taking into consideration the sensitive parts that could break in a mold like ears, eye balls etc.

 

CO128: Practice casting techniques of a portrait from clay to a permanent medium to be able to produce and exhibit well build permanent busts in the market
